It also outlines the top strategies to implement in the coming year, so your company is poised to win the war for talent and achieve continued success.

PAST 2018 BRIEFINGS

At TalenTrust, we advise our clients to treat recruitment as a sales process and a strategic priority.

6 in 10 companies expect to boost wages this year. How about you? Too many busy employers develop their compensation policies, then put them on a shelf and forget about them.

A Case Study in Corporate CultureGuest: Vincent Arnette, The CFO CenterListen Now

At TalenTrust, we advise executives that they must first cultivate an intentional culture before they can expect to attract and retain top talent. Most executives agree that corporate culture influences productivity, creativity, profitability, firm value and growth rates. While 86% of business leaders rate “culture” as one of the most urgent issues, only 15% say their own corporate culture is exactly where it needs to be. Join us for a case study on corporate culture, presented by Vincent Arnette of The CFO Center. He’ll outline how and why his firm has worked to develop a culture by design, vs a culture by default.

Talent management has become much like trying to fill a bucket with a hole in it. More than 70 percent of small- to medium-sized businesses plan to add headcount this year. While you’re out there competing for new hires, 3 in 4 of your existing employees are either open to or actively pursuing new job opportunities. To overcome these dual challenges, smart employers are developing new strategies to find and keep their top people. Business leaders are shifting priorities to focus on retention and internal hiring. Join us to hear more about how to develop and execute on these critical talent management strategies.

Strategic talent decisions are pivotal to sustainable success. After years of hearing author Jim Collins tell us that you have to “get the right people on the bus,” companies are recognizing that HR strategies are what attract and retain the right people. Historically, HR has been relegated to the back room. Increasingly, HR leaders are assuming more strategic roles at the side of CEOs and on boards—and it’s paying off. Join us to hear more about the evolving and more strategic role of HR, including what it looks like and why it’s important.

Culture is like air – it’s everywhere yet invisible. When harnessed correctly, corporate culture can turn into a tailwind of progress instead of a headwind of obstruction. How effective is your corporate culture? What can you do to enhance it and leverage it, to recruit and retain top talent? We’ll offer insight from our 2018 Hiring Guide and focus on cultural elements for every workplace generation—Millennials and beyond.

As detailed in the Vistage eBrief, SMB CEO Projections for 2018, a tight labor market, coupled with expectations for increased hiring, means that recruiting and retaining top talent will be increasingly difficult in 2018. Galvin says, “While adding headcount is essential to growth, retaining, developing and engaging existing talent is critical. It forms a foundation for adding new people. Just as you are looking for the best talent, so is everyone else — and they are looking at your people, too.” During this briefing, Galvin shares extensive research and sound advice, including five key strategies for recruitment and retention, as outlined in his recent article for Inc. Magazine.

In Q4 of 2017, middle market companies reported accelerated revenue growth, moderate employment growth and peak levels of confidence in local, national and global economies.
